Halo: Mass Contact

by BattleshipFusou

Thirty-five years have past since the end of the Human-Covenant War. Having reclaimed most all its previous glory, the UNSC exploration locates a massive artificial construct in the outer orbit of a star. While investigating the object alongside their Sangheili allies, new aliens come forth from the construct and bring humanity into a fate they never expected. ON HIATUS

9. Sci-Fi, Science, and Mocking the Stupid

To my dear and loyal readers, please pardon the fact that this isn't the chapter update you were hoping it would be. Rather this is a brief update during my vacation to address a rather large number of nasty, vile PM's I've received along with a few angry, whiny reviews for this story. I've decided rather than responding by PM and possibly having to do so again at a later time, I would simply address the concerns people have raised here in an intermissions chapter during my brief vacation.

Issue one: WHINE WHINE WHINE a Nimitz class carrier weighs a 100,000 tons WHINE WHINE.

This is a rather simple to deal with. First off, a Nimitz class carrier is built entirely out of STEEL a material over twice as dense as TITANIUM, the main ingredient in UNSC ship building. As a result the weight of a box with the height, width, and length of a marathon and the thickness of its armor would weigh in at a paltry 14,957 tons, which is an over estimate for the amount actually needed.

Thus Titanium is a far lighter metal as are its alloys so don't bitch and whine about ships being bug and not weighing as much as you think they should.

Issue Two: I am the one writing this story. Not you. If I am not writing this story in a manner that you enjoy, sod right off, I'll keep on writing views or no views as I wanted to write this since I didn't like the majority if Halo/ME crossovers.

Issue Three: This is Science Fiction people or rather few individuals. Suspend your disbelief and enjoy the story like everyone else seems to be doing.

Issue Four: I'll tolerate the ignorant who don't know better and can thus be taught, but if you come in here and start leaving rude comments and whining, I will get your comments deleted.

I won't brook the stupid, for that means they persist in error despite knowing they are wrong.

OoOoOoOoO

Thanks everyone for taking time to read over this and my apologies to the loyal readers who haven't been royal pains in the ass.
